New from me: I went deep on the way that generative AI and chatbots act as wormholes, pushing us deeper into our own minds. They threaten to compound the problems of algorithmic targeting that have festered unaddressed for years and years—what comes next may be even more alienating and isolating (🎁)

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Trump Is Turning the White House Into a 'Branded Estate'

While David Zaslav is working overtime to project momentum and prompt a bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery, it’s questionable whether there really is a serious, more attractive bid in the wings than David Ellison’s roughly $24-a-share offer.

Trump & Vought have been saying they’re firing federal workers because of the shutdown.
But today in a court filing they said the firings have nothing to do w/ the shutdown & they’ve been planning it for a while (duh).
Common Trump thing: say one thing publicly but say a different thing in court.

If the Supreme Court strikes down Section 2 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which has been interpreted to require the creation of majority-minority districts, Republicans could eliminate upward of a dozen Democratic-held districts across the South. Here's how.
The Supreme Court Case That Could Hand the House to Republicans
Democrats would be in danger of losing around a dozen majority-minority districts across the South if the court struck down part of the Voting Rights Act.
